Poker Cash Giveaway

Was participating in a turner and among more than 4,000 participants was already 288.
I was playing and found that my chips were destroying my opponent with over 2000 chips and I with little more than 800 chips.
Until I received an A and J gold and my opponent at the beginning of ALL IN.
As the blinds were high and I saw that would soon fall out I decided to accept.
For my surprise he had A and 9 until I was happy to find that would win to turn the last card was a 9.
That is just me come to think that this was pure luck.
What percentage of this happen again?
Arricascado was what I did?
As was already finishing my chips, I should have expected more?
Thank you.

i'm not sure what do you mean by "what % of this happening", but if you mean how often does A9o wins agains AJo it's ~68 for AJ, ~23 for A9 and ~8 for a tie.
You caught a "cooler" this happens. Yesterday I shove 3bet KK got called by 99 and... lost to quads =). Did git the money later in the tourmnament, but still...
This will happen.

Don't get too absorbed by results. You move was standard at this point in the tournament, and you did get unlucky. Could it happen again? Of course it can, just like next time your AJ will be up against AQ and you won't hit. That's what happens. Just keep trying to get your money in good. Then it is all up to the cards.

What's a "Ace Jack Gold"? It must be the best AJ possible as I have no clue what Gold Is but I hope to one day get AJ Gold

I think it is not necessary to go all in pre flop.
if you want to get into the prizes, you must be careful.I once won four of a kind with 2, while the opponent is playing with a pocket pair of aces

I do not bother about it. Big game experience itself tells me how best to proceed. Yet intuition to have.

You played it good, but sometimes you are just unlucky.

It has happened to me many times in the last days in pokerstars, I have a stronger hand against a single opponent and the lowest kicker out on the river, that has happened when I go allin, i dont know if it is random, because it is very common...or the system has identified that make frequent deposits?, it is a business...
